Megan Fox ordered to get fat
Filed under: Celebrities with Style
(Too skinny? Click the image to decide for yourself)
Clearly celebrities spend inordinate amounts of time and money keeping themselves as thin and beautiful as possible. But while some actress (like Jennifer Aniston, for instance) are dropping thousands of dollars a month on beauty treatments, others are working hard...to get fat.
That's the odd predicament Megan Fox is dealing with. The ultra-skinny starlet needs to lose her waif-like looks before she starts filming the Transformers sequel -- at least according to Michael Bay, the film's director. He told Fox that she needed to put on at least 10 pounds before shooting begins because he "doesn't like skinny girls."
So will FHM's Sexiest Woman of the Year beef up for the part? Absolutely. She's doing what she can to pack on the pounds -- most notably, eating red velvet cake at 10pm every night because, according to Fox, "if you eat meals later, you'll put on weight faster."
Oh, Megan. If only we had your problems.

Just a reminder that the ladies from the forties and fifties who were the sexy stars had some meat on them!!! Although they were big busted, most of them did not find it necessary to have clothes that had those breasts spilling over. There was not a six or four in the lot. I don't imagine there was a size ten!!! It is so sad that to compete in the current entertainment environment it is necessary to look like a skeleton................

Barbara, so true. Marilyn Monroe was a size 14, and was one of the most desirable women of her day!

uh, the sizing was different then, now she would probably be around a 6 or an 8. I am a 12-14 and there is NO way she was as big as I am. It is a nice fantasy though. :)
That said, I don't think there is really anything wrong with the way Megan Fox looks, it's not like she's anorexic looking or anything.

Actually, you're both right. Marilyn was big-ish and beautiful at a 1950's size 16. Today, that would be about a 12, 10, at the smallest. Still what brainwashed Hollywood would consider too curvy for the red carpet...
Someone needs to bring sexy back with some meat on their bones.

Adding ten pounds does not make a person fat. I'm pretty sure Megan Fox was not told to "Get fat"

Another comment on size.....clothing sizes have actually changed considerably. Size 8 now is more like a 12 of way back when....so your average woman feels smaller. Another trick of the trade! But then again all these 'celebs' are size 0. Does anyone really know a man that likes sticks?

if you look on megans right arm she has a tatoo of Marilyn Monroe. So if Megan idolizes Marilyn so much it shouldn't be a problem a problem for her to gain weight. There was only one Marilyn and she will never be replaced... But gain that 10 pounds, you are gorgeous Megan and will rock in that movie!!!

She's PERFECT. I had the same build when I was younger, and at the time I felt self conscious about being "too skinny." 30 years (and pounds) later, I look back at old pictures and wish I had appreciated how beautiful I was. Time and age, not to mention good old gravity, will take their toll on these young beauties before they know it. ENJOY YOUR YOUTHFUL BODY WHILE YOU HAVE IT! She is NOWHERE NEAR
"anorexic," she's just small boned, slim, and beatiful!

My bf loves that I'm a "voluptuous" woman. He can't stand looking at skinny women and definitely never wants to be with one. He even discourages his own daughters from dieting. None of us are obese (more than 50# over), but we have meat on our bones.
Young Hollywood women are too skinny and don't look at all healthy. They all look like death warmed up on a silver platter. Skinny is NOT sexy!!

GET FAT? get fat..? what kind of assinine would tell someone that?...clog my veins with garbage i don't need in them?fill them with fat,calcium deposits because someone doesn't like the the thin look?...let me meet Michael Bay...I'll give him fat.he probably looks like a dog himself....she's fine just the way she is and probably in better health than most...tell him to take his movie and shove it....my health would be too important to give it up for the likes of him or any money..

She's not as skinny as some celebs. But as none of us have ever seen her in person, it's hard to say. I saw a famous model in person, I forget her name, and in ads she looks gorgeous. In person she looks horrible. Her thigh is as big as my arm. And I'm not overweight. So go figure.

she shouldnt be eating red velvet cake at 10pm. I'm sure that will work,,, but a person can put on a HEALTHY 10 or more pounds with diet and exercise. She needs to hit the gym and pack on some muscle, reduce cardio activity, and eat eat eat,, but good food,, eat some red meat,, along with turkey, chicken and fish,,, loads of veggies and fruits,,, sweet potatos,, oatmeal,, Crusty whole grain breads. Putting on 10 pounds doesnt mean she has to put on 10 pounds of pure fat,, she can round out her muscles and add some weight in a good way. I think she could use some weight personally,, but sheesh,, is she a lovely young lady.

This makes me angry. First of all, I agree with Michael Terrell, it would take a completely ignorant or outright stupid person to say such a thing. If she was unhealthy looking, then I could understand it, but that's not the case here. This is the CAUSE of all of the eating disorders in hollywood-people telling these beautiful women and young girls, ur too fat n ur too skinny. its ridiculous. unless they are unhealthy, keep ur mouth shut, that is how God made them, if u dont like it, take it up with Him. Furthermore, some skinny people just cant help being skinny. Me for instance, I weigh 95 lbs, and trust me I have tried to change that, I eat everything I can, with very high calories, and it does nothing. Alot of overweight people laugh and say "I wish I had that problem", but they just dont know how wrong they are. If everything else fails, they can always elect for surgery to fix their problem. Their is NO FIX for mine. I may always be this skinny, b/c there is nothing "medically" wrong with me. I have just been 15 lbs underweight for 4 yrs. Even pregnancy didn't change that. I gained 41 lbs with my daughter and within weeks of delivery it was gone. All I'm saying is, sometimes it's out of their hands.

I have the same body type as megan and a very fast metabolism. 10 lbs wont be much, she'll just look a little thicker in certain areas depending on where she gains her weight at. Like, Im 4'11" and i weigh around 102 to about 105 usually. so if i were to gain about 10 lbs, which i have done before, all thats happens to me is that my butt, bust, and thighs get a bit more meaty. I myself don't see anything wrong with women with curves. But theres nothing wrong with being skinny either. as long as ur healthy and don't look sick its fine if thats the way ur built. and just cuz im little doesn't mean i don't have curves! I'm Blatina, i got plenty they're just on a tiny body. ^_^

I don't find her to be that good-looking to begin with. I think she could use some decent curves, rather than be yet another underfed waif with pointy shoulders, pinched cheeks, and a waist that looks like it may snap in a strong wind.
